Connect to Desktop source with the View Client?

All,

I am currently in a POC of VMware View and would like to know if it is possible to connect to the portal and then to a desktop source without the need to install the View client software. Is this possible? If so, how?

If not, then can the a properly authenticated domain user login to a local guest or user privileged account and install the view client software? Or does the domain user need to be logged into a local administrator account in order to download the view client software? I have tested this and I experienced that the only way I was able to download the view client software and succesfully connect to a desktop source was if I logged in as a local administrator.

I know that with Citrix (sorry to mention that name here), I was able to download the client while being logged into the machine with local guest account. Their client had a very small footprint.

Your help please. Thanks.
